I was among the people who believed Liverpool would likely win last season's Champions League trophy because at that time Liverpool had the best performance in the Champions League, but I was totally surprised when they were knocked out in the round of 16 by PSG. Despite the players Liverpool added to its squad in the summer transfer window, there's is a big possibility that Liverpool will still miss out in winning the Champions League trophy this season if they fails to be at their best when playing against tough opponent.
I even feel Liverpool was in a better position of winning last season than they are now even though with the quality and depth of their squad this season, there seem to be this slight weakness in their mentality although I am only hoping that before the end if this season they get that fixed so it does not affect and reduce their chances of winning the title or champions league this season, they are still amongst top picks to win the champions league even with this poor form of theirs actually.
Even though I haven't seen the current Liverpool squad playing in this season Champions League competition to know how they would perform and their chances of winning this season's champions league trophy, I think the current Liverpool squad is far better than last season Liverpool squad, and Liverpool stand a better chance of winning this season's Champions League trophy.
